When you spend the time, money and effort to prevent retail theft, it is important to make sure you are getting the most out of your security or Electronic Article Surveillance System or EAS system. In my training classes, I show my new hires how the EAS system operates, and more importantly what role they play in our retail anti-shoplifting program.

One of the most overlooked components of an EAS system is getting your employees to understand that retail anti-theft devices do not catch shoplifters. They can only deter them. It is really up to the store personnel to make the EAS system work effectively.

I show my new hires how the EAS labels and tags set off the towers at the doors. I then walk them through how to properly respond to the customers, politely validate a receipt, and then deactivate the paid for merchandise.

When trained correctly, the EAS system makes a big impact on our shrink reduction. EAS systems don’t make merchandise recoveries; they just point you in the right direction. Attentive and responsive employees, on the other hand, recover your product and take your retail anti-shoplifting system to the next level.
